Aaron took a deep breath, his face full of resentment. "Well, since you've already made up your mind, why
bother asking for my opinion? Just letknow the tand place. Meeting you has been nothing but bad luck!"
Andrew nodded with satisfaction. "Don't worry, | won't shortchange you. Taking down Marcelo will only benefit
you. No downside to that at all."
Later, Andrew brought Rachel along as they made the rounds to a few other families.
"Don't even think about it, Andrew! We're not your lackeys and won't do your dirty work!"
"Seriously, you think you can give orders to us? Who the hell do you think you are? Andrew, you're nothing but a
joke!"
"Get lost! You're not worthy of ordering us around, and you sure as hell don't deserve our cooperation."
Despite facing one harsh rejection after another, Andrew maintained his cheerful smile. Then, he dropped his
bombshell.
"| think it's necessary to remind everyone that Mrs. Peck, the matriarch of the Peck family, is my dear, beloved
aunt! She's the one who sentto reach out to
all of you.
"If you all want to disrespect that, that's fine. I'll just head back and let my aunt know what you said. Get ready
to receive not a legal notice... but a family-wide funeral announcement instead."
In an instant, the heads of each household, those so-called decision-makers, turned pale with panic.
"Oh no, Mr. Lloyd, you're representing Mrs. Peck? Why didn't you say so earlier?" "That settles it, then. Whatever

"Say no more! Marcelo's as good as dead. Anyone who's caught Mrs. Peck's eye is screwed. She'll rip him apart!"
"Mr. Lloyd, have you eaten? Con and join us! Let our family host you at our hotel for a grand dinner! After
this, even if you wanted to storm the president's house, our family would give you our full support..."
On the way back, Rachel's entire body trembled with excitement. Overwhelmed
by Andrew's domineering presence and authority, she felt an almost
uncontrollable urge to submit completely.
Andrew chuckled. "No need to get so worked up. | was just borrowing someone else's influence to get things
done!"
Rachel flashed a seductive smile,
her voice dripping with desire. "Mr. Lloyd, I'm completely and utterly convinced by your power! If you're willing,
I'd gladly offer you my body and all my assets for free!"
Andrew felt a headache coming on. "Are you being serious right now?" Rachel pushed out her chest and bit her
lip provocatively. "Absolutely serious! If you trust me, | promise I'll make you feel like you're floating on cloud
nine." Seeing how shamelessly seductive she looked, Andrew shook his head. "Sorry, but I'm not into walking
paths that others have already walked."
Rachel giggled. "But Mr. Lloyd, every
road in this world Foe om

He added, "Madam Gardner, you really ought to study more philosophy. It's a deep and profound subject!"
Rachel's face darkened. "I hope when the judge questions you, Mr. Lloyd, you'll still insist we were just talking
about philosophy!"
